Subject: VLAN patch:  Export symbols as non GPL symbols.

In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the 
'real-device' and the
VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN.  In more recent kernels, the code was 
restructured
such that this is hard to do without accessing private .h files for any 
module that cannot
use GPL-only symbols.

Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to 
access the
real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.  This patch is against 2.6.29-rc2.

Ben
